Commercial drivers at Asamankese in the Eastern Region have dismissed calls for a reduction in transport fares following the recent reduction in fuel prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A litre of petrol is sold at around Gh\u00a215.41 while diesel is sold at around Gh\u00a218.86 per litre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the drivers have said the recent percentage in reduction of fuel prices does not attract a reduction in transport fares for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on The People\u2019s Forum<\/strong> on Adom FM\u2019s Dwaso Nsem, they explained their stance is because prices of vehicle spare parts keep increasing, adding their business does not rely on fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf anybody is expecting a reduction in transport fares following the recent reduction in fuel prices, that person should forget it for now because we will not reduce it today or tomorrow.
\u201cWorst case, we will even be forced to increase it and there is nothing anybody can do,\u201d a driver declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His colleagues, who shared similar sentiments, added the bad nature of the roads was also affecting their businesses making life unbearable for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes a few days after the Association of Passengers in Ghana called on the mother association of driver unions \u2013 the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU), the Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council and the Ministry of Transport to immediately review transport fares by adjusting it downwards to reflect the prevailing market prices of petrol and diesel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forget it! We\u2019ll not reduce transport fares \u2013 GPRTU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuel prices to go down again from next week; this is why [Listen]<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But the GPRTU stated categorically that it has no intention of reducing transport fares following the recent reduction in fuel prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Public Relations Officer, Abass Moro, stated that the GPRTU will only consider reducing transport fares if a litre of fuel is sold at GHC10.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
